[HIATUS]After the dust settles-A Devilman Crybaby fanfic

Chp 6: Captive

Ok so this chapter may be a little graphic (not in the sense that there's graphic adult content, but like there's kinda graphic depictions and descriptions of emotional and physical violence) so if you're bothered or triggered by that kind of stuff I suggest clicking off now.

When Akira woke up, he was pinned up against a tree facing Ryo. He didn't know why he wasn't in heaven, or why he didn't hear Taro running up to him to wake him up. He was confused, he was hurting, and most of all, he was scared.

"Wh- what's—"

He heard a gasp

"Akira!! Shh.. shhh... it's okay. Here, have some water." He shoved a makeshift cup of clear water into his face, then opened his mouth forcefully and dumped it down his throat. "Do you feel better now?"

As a response, Akira choked up the water and spit it on the ground.

Ryo laughed. "Oh Akira..." He grabbed his hand, "Don't try that with me."

As he squeezed tighter than any being (human or not) should, Ryo just stared at Akira with a gentle smile.

"I'm sorry if I'm hurting you, but bad behavior shouldn't be praised."

Akira screamed in pain and agony, tears welling up in his eyes. He knew if he cried for himself, it would be selfish, and break all his morals. But he couldn't help it. The pain was too much.

When he saw the liquid in Akira's eyes and the blood on his hands, Ryo immediately let go.

"Akira..." he whispered, his voice starting to crack, "Please dont cry..."

As the sun rose, the only audible sounds were the wind, and their sobs as they cried together.
